(CBS SF) – Veteran U.S. Goalie Tim Howard turned in one of the great performances in American soccer history Tuesday, preserving Men’s National Team’s hopes of advancing until well into extra time. The 16-save outing was the buzz of social media, and apparently even Wikipedia, where users gave him a promotion shortly after the game.

The page was quickly revised to the proper officeholder (It’s Chuck Hagel, folks) but Howard fans have started a petition to land him another, honor, the renaming of Washington’s Reagan National Airport in honor of the 35-year-old soccer star, who plays professionally for Everton in the English Premiere league.

The name change isn’t likely, but still a few thousand backers have signed a petition to show support.
